High Above Chapter 65

  Chapter 65: The Flames of War

   In 766 Terra, on July 23, the all-out conflict between the natives of Sequoia Forest and Port Harrison started extremely suddenly.

In the redwood forest, more than 150 hard-core hunters were mobilized to raid more than 17 fishing villages along the coast, burning down the fishing grounds and more than 20 shellfish farming factories. Seven shamans and great shamans led the team to completely destroy the Brown Yulin, two border villages of Yuxilin, killed more than 200 innocent villagers.

Harrison Port launched a counterattack on the same day. The port guards used each sentry tower as a node to capture and kill 21 hunters. In addition to the casualties, rare and expensive flame retardant agents were also used to create many forest fires in retaliation.

  For a while, all hunting and herb gathering activities around Harrison Port were suspended, and all the surrounding villages turned into defensive postures.

  In contrast, all the indigenous tribes moved to the northwest near the Baisen Mountains, and the two sides launched sporadic but fierce offensive and defensive battles against the strongholds and villages in the upper reaches of the Ewok River, causing mutual casualties.

Without using the totem master, the sea power of Harrison Port has an absolute advantage, and the aborigines cannot interfere with the fishery. So for now, the situation in the city is fairly stable, and all residents have long been accustomed to this kind of situation and will come here once in ten years. large-scale conflict.

  However, in the past, most of the conflicts between the natives and Port Harrison stemmed from an extremely rare potion, or a fight over the ownership of rare Warcraft materials, and sometimes wars were caused by the accidental death of important figures on both sides...

   All in all, when there were fights in the past, everyone knew why.

  But this time, no one knew why the aborigines suddenly launched an attack.

There are rumors in the city that the sacred tree of the aborigines is about to bear fruit, so it needs to be watered with blood; others say that the aborigines have eaten too well in recent years, the population is too large, and the redwood forest can no longer support them, so some of them must go to war to die; It is said that the indigenous shamans foretold the coming disaster, and that fighting and dying now is just part of avoiding the disaster...

  Everyone is very interested in this kind of topic, especially the people in the city who have nothing to do and have nothing to do. They are hunters and herbal gatherers who often deal with the aborigines.

  Even though some of them were conscripted into the guards to fight the natives, there were still many people who stayed and spent their time chatting about rumors every day.

  Ian is different, he is not so free.

  Actually, during the recent period, he was too busy to touch the ground.

  In addition to daily chores such as buying vegetables and cooking, Ian needs to exercise his physical fitness every morning. After breakfast, he will continue to exercise his physical fitness and body flexibility, and then he will have lunch and concentrate his essence.

Ordinary Terrans usually eat two meals a day, and three meals can only be provided when the family has a lot of money and the funds are healthy. Ian was given a lot of money and resources, so in terms of food, Ian did not fall behind at all, and the food was quite good.

   But again, his learning intensity is quite large.

   After refining the source of food, at about three o'clock in the afternoon, Ian will go to a house belonging to the city hall, and learn alchemy and inscriptions with local blacksmiths, alchemists and some white people in Port Harrison.

  As the youngest student, Ian did attract a lot of attention at the beginning.

  However, no one would ridicule 'what do children know', because his identity as a psyker has been announced by Viscount Grant and Elder Purdue.

  Many people even felt that this class was even specially opened for Ian, and the big guys were just enjoying themselves, so not only did they not ridicule, but everyone was quite gentle with Ian.

   And then, Ian's learning speed made everyone deepened, 'This class is just for this guy! ' This false impression.

   While everyone was still reciting and trying to memorize the numerous alchemy substrates and basic principles of inscriptions, Ian was able to use instruments to perform simple matrix extraction under the guidance of Elder Pude.

  —Simple separation and purification, elementary school chemistry experiment.

  Alchemy is indeed simple, but inscriptions involve hands-on skills. You need to use a carving knife to carve various patterns on wood, stone, iron sheets and other materials.

  Ian does have shortcomings in practice, but with the ability to condense the source seed and control the body after breathing guidance, he is at least not the worst group.

  After the alchemy course, it was about six or seven o'clock in the evening. When he returned home, he not only had to take care of his brother, cook dinner, but also continue to exercise.

  After feeling tired, Ian will immediately perform breathing guidance to calm the source matter in his body, and then wait until Hilliard returns after nine o'clock to learn various advanced sublimator courses from the other party until he goes to bed.

   At the end of the day, Ian felt that he was more fulfilled than he had taken the engineer certificate exam. This life intensity was at least three times that of the postgraduate entrance examination and college entrance examination. Even with his spirit, there was no room for thinking about other things.

   But he didn't feel hard.

  Ian became an engineer because he wanted to go to space, and all the knowledge he learned was to make himself one step closer to his dream.

   Now, in a different world, all knowledge, whether it is alchemy, inscriptions or sublimation common sense, each makes him feel relished, and it is an unknown that he has never touched on the earth.

  Just knowing it is enough joy, not to mention learning these things that I like in depth, it is simply a kind of enjoyment.

  Of course, the most important thing is that these courses are not difficult for him at all.

   "Basic alchemy is essentially chemistry. Although there are more catalysis and synthesis content that has never been seen on earth, as long as you accept this setting, the difficulty is at the entry level of elementary school, and the level of junior high school."

"The inscription is a bit more difficult, similar to an integrated circuit, this thing is essentially a pure craft, which requires extremely high proficiency and hand-brain coordination, otherwise, there is no way to draw such a complicated pattern on the material with an engraving pen. circuit diagram."

   "As for sublimation knowledge, as long as you memorize it, you are right. For me, it is the easiest."

  Maybe because of rebirth, having a soul, or simply because of his good physical condition in this life, Ian's thinking ability is several levels stronger than those "classmates" who have not yet condensed their souls.

  However, he did not show any impatience, and asked Elder Pude to give him a small lesson to speed up his learning progress.

  Because what he lacks now is not time, but stability.

Ian is very clear that the stronger the potential he shows, the higher the treatment he will get. After knowing his talent in alchemy and inscriptions, Viscount Grant even came to a class on purpose to ask him some basic knowledge he has learned recently .

  After getting a clear answer, the nobleman looked at Ian with a cautious expression besides admiration, which means that Ian has psychic powers and can perceive thoughts that are so subtle that they are almost invisible.

  Since then, Ian has stopped showing further intelligence.

  —too much to go too far.

  In Port Harrison, it is enough to be an ordinary genius, but if you go too far, it will be dangerous.

  Instead of excellence, it is better to be a little bad, so that you can be at ease.

   While Ian was studying **** the group books.

  Outside the city, the conflict between the imperials and the natives became more intense, but none of them threatened the core of both sides.

The rear of the Sequoia natives has never been disturbed, and there is a steady stream of supplies and manpower. The official road at Port Harrison is also well protected. The aid materials from the provincial capital and even the central government of the empire are all are being delivered in succession.

  I heard that at the beginning of autumn, another batch of support materials from the imperial capital will arrive.

  According to the propaganda of the Viscount Mansion, when the caravan arrived, it was the moment when Port Harrison broke the balance of power and defeated the natives.

   In short.

  Now Ian has enough time to get used to this strange, but gradually familiar Terra continent.

  Everything was on the right track, and like this, he started intensive study that lasted for more than a month in the midst of the war.

  During this process, many students were hurriedly transferred to the front line after only learning the most basic production of gunpowder crystal dust and repairing inscriptions related to alchemy cannons... and this is exactly what Viscount Grant wanted.

  Only Ian, from the beginning to the end, completely completed this crash course that lasted for more than a month.

   The tide ebbs and flows, time flies.

   Now is the 766th year of the Terra calendar, September 19th.
